“Eden Hazard and Alvaro Morata were rested for the Carabao Cup win over Everton”

Following three dodgy performances in defeats to Manchester City and Crystal Palace, plus a draw with Roma, Chelsea appear to have returned to form.

They came from behind to beat Watford 4-2 last weekend, before beating Everton 2-1 in the Carabao Cup last night.

Next up for Antonio Conte’s men is a visit to Bournemouth, where they will look to gain ground on Manchester United and Tottenham - at least one of whom would have dropped points following the lunchtime game at Old Trafford.

We expect the Italian tactician to make nine changes to the side that edged out Everton at Stamford Bridge, with star men such as Eden Hazard and Alvaro Morata having been rested for the cup clash.

Bournemouth are in the relegation zone with just seven points from nine games, so Conte will expect nothing less than three points on Saturday.
